Thickness of Human Hair.

Measurements have shown the thick
ness of the human hair to vary from the
two hundred and liftieth to the six hun
drcdth part of an inch. The silkworms
thread is one five. .thousandth part of an
inch thick AMI the spiders web only one
thirty thousandlh. Blonde Lair is the
finest and red tie coarsest. Taking four
heads O: hair of equal weight, a patient
German physioloy it found the rcd one
to contain about 10000 hairs, the black
1O3, 900, the brown 10, 900, and the
blonde 10000.

Their Own Fault,

Many farmers complain of what they
call their hard lot. They work hare, ,
they say, all their lives and yet never get
ahead any. They dress poorly and
live poorly, and never spend q
cent for any new or improved thing,
no matter if it promises to bring
back hundred fold. When prices are
high they have nothing to sell and their
tub is always bottom up when it rains.
To illustrate at the present time the price
of strictly fresh laid eggs il. Boston at
retail is from 40 to so cents per dozen,
and it would be interesting and in
tructive to know how may farmers in
this State are able to take advantage OF
these high prices. The following letters
show what can be accomplished by in
telligcnt and enterprising farmers.

bright and laying every day, and the last
week of the trial two of my hens have
been setting, so that the product has
more than doubled. I bought large

How to Prevent Diphtheria.

How to Prevent Diphtheria.
The first and most essential agents for
for preventing contagion are cleanliness,
pure air, and sunlight. These arc ma
lures great antiseptics. For the first
great essential, cleanliness, our local
Boards of Health seen to have but little
regard. If they would spend one-half
the time in cleaning the back alleys that
they consume in magnfying the few
isolated cases of diphtheria, the original
invasion of an epidemic might often be
averted. "Prevention is better than
cure" but after the epidemic has once
begun, the question naturally arises: how
shall we limit its ravages2 The first
means to be thought of is isolation. The
patient, ought, ifpossible, to be placed
in an upper front room that is light and
airy, and all but adult members of the
family excluded. No children should be
permitted to be exposed to the contagion.
All unnecessary furniture should be re-
moved, and, as far as possible, proper
germicides should be freely used.
The following rules for disinfection, as
given in Gatchell's Key Notes, are very
simple and perhaps as good as any:
For air Of sick room: Potassium perman-
ganate, dr.; Oxalic acid, dr.; mix and
moisten with twi:e the quantity (by bulk of
water; in two hours add small quantity
more of water. 1t will emit ozone freely
enough for large room, and it is an active
disinfectant.
For drinking water: Add sufficient per-
manganate of potassium to render it slightly
pinltish in strong light. then filter
For retiring closets, drains and water
pipes:
Hot water............ 2}1 gallons.
corbolic oppoisSoc acid ''' .....:. :.: pounds.
Especially useful in typhoid fever, dysen-
terry, ETC., as we'll.
For drains, bitches, and sewers: Disinfect
with chloride of lime. One pound is sufficient
for one thousand gallons of running sewer
age.
For washing clothing:
Sulphate Of Zinc.... .... "a ounces.
Got Heto1..t %ater: a:.o..... :::: es; gallon.
Soak the clothes twelve hours then wash
Heavy clothing, blankets, ETC., to be
disinfected, should be opened and ex-
Eoscd. Close the room as tightly as
possible; stuff all cracks, and paste
paper over key holes. Place sulphur in
iron pans; set on bricks in wash-tubS
containing little water. Ignite it by
aid of hot Goals, or spoonful of alcohol
poured overit and ignited with match.
Hasten from the room, and keep it closed
for twenty four hours; then open win
dows wide, and air it thoroughly. For
a room ten feet square, use two pounds
of sulphur, and for larger ones a porpor-
tionate quantity. y.-Heatth and Home.

Overfat Cattle.

The question has again come up that
overfat cattle are not profitable. OF
course they are not profitable. No one
cares for fat except so far as the mar
bling of the lean meat is concerned. This
is accomplished perfectly when the ami
NAL becomes fat, rs, for instance, on
flush pasture supplemented with some
additional food Of more condensed ma
ture. Hence the steer or the sheep that
will lay on the large t amount of lean
meat in proportion to gross weight OF
carcass, the meat he ng we'll marbled
with fat, is the most economical to the
butcher, and, OF course, to the con-
sumer.
The reason why it is best for the
butcher is that tallow is the cheapest
product of the carcass and the butchers
price for the lean meat to the consumer
is the relative average difference in
weight between the fat and lean. Never
theless, the butcher, where he has the
opportunity, selects those carcasses that
will give the most lean meat of the de-
sired quality. Does the consumer profit
by this3 BY no mems. The butcher
necessarily likes MS price on the average
of lean meat When he gets carcass
rich in lean meat it is simply windfall
to him.
In the case of hogs it is somewhat diff
fercnt. Swine lay on fat naturally. The
muscle is pretty much fixed quantity.
There is always NOR fat than lean, and
the lard is not much less in price than
the lean meat. Hence very fat hogs are
the rule. The difference between the
very fat fat hog and the moderately fat one
is triiing per pound. The fat is a
mcrchantable commodity in lard and
in side pork at prices very nearly cor
responding to that OF the lean. The fat
of bee les, however, is mostly sold to the
tallow handkerchief not worked up
into fctti us butter-for about what it
is worth for soap.makiug.-Chicago 1ri-

THE HOME DOCTOR.
WhoopinC.CouSh.

Whooping- cough is highly contagl-
Gus fever, affecting the entire system, but
specially manifesting itself in an indam-
nation of the bronchial tubes and spas
uodic cough occurring in. frequent par.
oxysms. The whoop is due to the rapid
coughing. This Tenders it impossible to
draw in the breath until. the coughing
! ends, when the breath enters strongly
through the glottis, still partially con-
tracted by the spasm. 1t rarely ends in
less than six weeks; generally its run is
longer, sometimes many months. AS
rule, the physician merely aims to pal
late the symptoms, guard against COM
plications and abridge somewhat the at
tack. Says DR.. Fling: '1t must be
admitted that there are no means BY
which the affection may be arrested"
A writer in the Lancet thinks that the
prevalent treatment has been directed too
much to the symptoms, instead of to the
cause. Hence the medicines prescribed
have simply had an anti-spasmodic and
sedative cffect-relieving the cough, but
not reaching the disease itself. During
a severe epidemic Of whooping- cough,
he noticed on several occasions marked
allevation of the symptoms, and then at
other times marked aggravation. This
led him to suspect some powerful atmos-
pheric in '.uence ut work. On consulting
his charts, he found that the former con-
dition corresponded to high percentage
of ozone in the air, and the latter to a
very low percentage. Ozone being a
natural antiseptic preventive of putre-
faction), he at once commenced to treat
his patients with antiseptic medicines,
taken internally. The result was very
favorable. The method was confirmed
by further experience, proving satisfac-
tory in almost every case.
